    E36 M3 Sport Seat Leather Replacement Covers - Where to Buy/Experience/Tips & Tricks?

    My E36 M3's sport seats are beyond repair. I'm looking to replace them with new covers. I've found two manufacturers, Lseat has a set for $299 and AutoBerry has a set for $799. I'd like to mine your experience on a few items:

    1. Are there other manufacturers out there that I might be missing?

    2. Does anyone have experience with either of these seat covers and if so, what has been your experience?

    3. I've taken my existing covers off to see if they can be repaired so I know the process of dis- and re-assembly, but haven't done new seat leather covers before. Do they come with premade holes for pulling over the tabs? Any tips or tricks?

    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Put 'lseat.com' in the search box then look for threads with 'lseat' in the title. Plenty of info.
    See ya later,

    If the foam is damage beyond repair too then its pointless just to get the skin as one of the reasons skin would fail over time is because of lack of foam support.

    I have tried both lseat and autoberry skins (the latter being better) and they are only as good as the underlying foam.


    DM bmw ozwerks or vaderfactory on instagram. They repreduce foam and skin for the kits together and ships worldwide

    Thanks for the recommendations. The seat foam was shot so I purchased new and have it on-hand. I tried putting the original leather back on the new foam, but due to their age they just pulled apart in numerous places. That's why I'm looking for new covers. I'll give Ozworks and Vaderfactory a look.
